IE6 Security Controls/URLMon;msimtf (nhl 2004)

[Abdul-Haseeb Ahmad]

Okay when i use IE6 (installed by mike's script) any webpage that uses 
an activex control says my security settings are too high, even if i 
lower them (both custom settings and the slider have no effect), or even 
if i make the site a trusted website... now i believe this might be what 
be causing problems with NHL2004 because i get a script error 80040154 
(which doesnt let me go in game) when i go to the game setup screen(rest 
of the game is flawless other than DXImageTransform filters not 
functioning), which is caused by a missing CLSID entry.. so i checked 
out the errors I was getting and urlmon.dll wasn't registered and 
neither was msimtf... now the thing that nhl was trying to call was the 
security manager which is part of urlmon.dll.. when i registered urlmon, 
it would crash the game, and i can't get msimtf to register because of 
problems it has with advapi32/user32 implementations...

Im not sure what msimtf does, but i have a hunch that clearing the 
urlmon issue might solve my problems.. anyone have an idea of what i can 
do to solve this issue?

Theres also an error: fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoA Unknown action: 
8198
I have a feeling this is harmless though...

disregard these emails. the problem was due to a call to 
DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Fade. I commented this out and now no 
problems :) Only problem now is getting D3D to work

Is there any fix for that ActiveX behavior on IE concerning security
settings to high, which aren't actually?

Well, its probably related to URLMON.. I noticed that when I registered 
that DLL sites that i put as trusted sites were giving me the green 
checkmark in the status bar, but they were still giving me security 
errors.. someone who is more familiar with urlmon's security manager 
might know...
